    If someone doesn’t want to believe me, that’s their choice; if someone is down to reject what I say out of hand, I don’t want to associate with them any more than necessary, so I don’t really care if they believe me (caveat: sometimes it matters for an outcome, like if you need an absence at work or school excused or if you’re in court, but providing evidence is standard for those types of claims regardless of their reason).



  • I do this, and it’s still only like a 60% chance it’ll appeal to my cat in the moment. I just let it sit until she either eats it or it’s been 6+ hours (she’ll generally eat it within 1-2 hours, though). I use wet food pouches, and only put a little in the dish at a time, so it’s not a huge waste, but it’s annoying when she chooses a flavor and still doesn’t want it.






  • The manager of my bakery who earns 17€/hour and gets up at 2am six days a week to open the bakery so no one else has to is not a cop. She greeted me with a double espresso with hot oat milk and having already clocked me in. I normally drink a double espresso with room temperature oat milk. But go off, I guess.




  • However, the fact-checking website Snopes said the image showed protests in Los Angeles following the death of George Floyd in May 2020.

    The governor’s office wrote on X on Friday: “HUGE DEVELOPMENT: An official Department of Defense account is spreading fake images—from old protests—to justify Trump’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles. This isn’t just disinformation. It’s a propaganda campaign from the Pentagon.”

    This is the next paragraph, I think the “however” refers to the posting, not newsoms reaction to it. Ultimately, old pictures are real and their use is deceitful. Calling them fake is adequate in my book, but not entirely accurate.


  • That’s so interesting! I wonder how it works in Switzerland now, and if there’s a shift between franco- and germanophone areas or if they just split the difference/let Italian or romansh dictate formality.

    You’re in your thirties, that’s a complete adult (as am I, even if it doesn’t always feel it). Do you think you’d be offended by someone using tu without knowing you? Or would it feel more like they’re hitting on you/trying to build rapport to sell you something?
